Abstract

The generation of stereochemically-rich benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides for enrichment of high-throughput screening collections is reported. Utilizing a microwave-assisted, continuous flow organic synthesis platform (MACOS), scale-out of core benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxide scaffolds has been achieved on multi-gram scale using an epoxide opening/SNAr cyclization protocol. Diversification of these sultam scaffolds was attained via a microwave-assisted intermolecular SNAr reaction with a variety of amines. Overall, a facile, 2-step protocol generated a collection of benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides possessing stereochemical complexity in rapid fashion, where all 8 stereoisomers were accessed from commercially available starting materials.

1. Introduction

The design, synthesis and production of molecular libraries for high-throughput biological screening (HTS) has been a critical aspect of drug discovery.i A recent survey of current compound collections for HTS has found that on average, they posses a higher sp2 content as well as lower structural and stereochemical complexity when compared to currently available drugs.ii While enrichment of compound collections with natural products and their derivatives is one way to enhance complexity, the aforementioned dichotomy has warranted the development of efficient synthetic methods of increasing stereochemical complexity and sp3 content in screening collections.iii,iv We herein report a facile, 2-step protocol to generate a collection of benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides possessing stereochemical complexity in rapid fashion. A microwave-assisted, continuous flow organic synthesis (MACOS) platform is employed to produce all 8 stereoisomers of a benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxide core scaffold via an epoxide opening/SNAr cyclizationv protocol, followed by intermolecular SNAr diversification.

Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) has emerged in recent years as a powerful tool to enrich the diversity of molecules for HTS.vi This approach has been led by the development of new methodologies, automated technologies, and collaborations within the area of chemical biology. In addition to structural diversity and complexity, the ability to rapidly access every potential stereoisomer of a structure, while functionalizing a core scaffold at every position, is a key concept at the heart of DOS that has the potential to benefit both early stage HTS and SAR, as well as downstream probe/drug development.iv,vi,vii

It was envisioned that a collection of stereochemically-rich benzofused sultams could be rapidly generated where every stereoisomer is readily accessible from commercially available starting materials. In this regard, utilizing a combination of chiral 2° sulfonamides, epoxides, and amino alcohols, a two-step procedure was designed for the synthesis of core benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxides via an epoxide opening/ SNAr cyclizationv sequence, followed by intermolecular SNAr diversification (Figure 1). Furthermore, the powerful combination of microwave heating and flow chemistry was seen to achieve this goal quickly through shortened reaction times and production at any scale necessary with no process re-optimization.

2. Results and Discussion

Preliminary investigations focused on addressing the ability to generate multi-gram quantities of core benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxide scaffolds. Initial efforts in batch microwave were limited by reactor size and decreased yields resulting from increased by-product formation during scale-up.viii To address these limitations, the MACOS platform was employed to scale-out, rather than scale-up, the scaffold production runs.ix,x The scale-out approach to microwave transformations has been shown in recent years to be a highly efficient method for accessing large quantities of organic molecules.xi,xii

At the outset, a batch microwave reactor was used to develop reactions times that would be suitable for adaptation to flow (Table 1). With some optimization, it was determined that benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxides 2 could be generated in 70% yield (100% conversion based on 1) utilizing 1.5 equiv. of tBuOK at 180 °C for 1 minute in the microwave (Table 1, entry 7). Such conditions are well tolerated in the MACOS reactor system where flow rates can be set to establish average residence times of approximately one minute for material in the irradiation zone of the microwave (where the sample is actually being irradiated and thus heated).

Taking these preliminary conditions into the MACOS platform, a variety of reactor parameters were investigated, namely flow rate, temperature and power to fine-tune the scale-out protocol (Table 2). When shorter production runs were performed (eg., to produce ~200 mg of 2), the desired sultam was generated in 50% yield (100% conversion of 1) utilizing a flow rate of 150 μL/min at 190 °C and 220 Watts of power (Table 2, entry 7).xiii

When the MACOS reaction was performed for longer times to increase product output, clogging of reaction capillaries was observed after approximately 3 mL of the reaction solution had been flowed. When isolated, this material was not soluble in an array of solvents, indicating that product decomposition under these conditions may have occurred. Suspecting that this problem might be related to the base, tBuOK was substituted with DBU. Re-optimization of reaction conditions in batch utilizing DBU (Table 1, entries 8–11) was carried out and the best conditions for the generation of 3 were attempted using the MACOS platform leading to a gratifying 78% yield (Table 2, Entry 8). Utilizing 1.5 equiv of DBU at 180 °C with a flow rate of 100–200μL/min, benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides 2–5 were synthesised in gram quantities demonstrating the successful application of the MACOS platform for scale-out (Scheme 1). Building on these trial runs, benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxides core scaffolds 6 – 13 , were prepared readily using optically-pure epoxides on the MACOS platform (Scheme 1).xiv

Reactions were carried out on 100 mg scale in DMSO at 180 °C for 50 minutes, followed by dilution, filtration, and purification by column chromatography to produce the desired benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxides 14 – 21 in high yield.

3. Conclusions

In conclusion, a method for the rapid access of stereochemically-rich benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides utilizing a two-step, microwave-accelerated protocol is reported. A MACOS platform was used for the scale-out production of core benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxide scaffolds on multi-gram scale using a cascade epoxide opening/cyclization sequence. These core scaffolds were subsequently diversified by a microwave-assisted, intermolecular SNAr reaction with chiral, non-racemic amino alcohols. Overall, this 2-step protocol efficiently generated all 8 stereoisomers of benzothiaoxazepine-1,1′-dioxides in optically-pure form, bearing three stereogenic centers, using readily accessible starting materials. These compounds will be evaluated by HTS for potential biological activity by our collaborators, and these results will be reported in due course.

4. Experimental

Microwave irradiation experiments and Analysis of Compounds 2 – 13

All MACOS experiments were performed in 1700 μ m (ID) borosilicate capillaries, using a single mode Biotage Smith Creator Synthesizer, operating at a frequency of 2.45 GHz with irradiation power from 0 to 350 W. The capillary was fed reactants from Hamilton gastight syringes attached to a Harvard 22 syringe pump preset to the desired flow rate. The system was connected to a sealed collection vial, where a pressurized air line (75 psi) was attached to create backpressure. The temperatures reported were measured off the surface of the capillaries by the IR sensor built into the microwave chamber. All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without additional purification. Column chromatography purifications were carried out using the flash technique on silica gel 60 (200–400 mesh). 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy was performed on a Bruker Avance 400 MHz instrument (at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively) or a Bruker DRX-500 spectrometer (at 500 MHz or 125 MHz respectively). All 1H NMR spectra were calibrated to the signal from the residual proton of the deuterated chloroform solvent (7.26 ppm) while 13C NMR spectra were calibrated to the middle carbon signal of the triplet for deuterated chloroform (77.00 ppm). High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was recorded on a LCT Premier Spectrometer (Micromass UK Limited) operating the the ESI mode (MeOH). All compounds in this study have been isolated by silica gel/aluminum oxide chromatography for the purpose of spectroscopic identification

General Methods for compounds 14 - 21

All reactions were carried out in 1 dram vials using a reaction heating block in an Anton Paar ® Synthos 3000 synthesizer. Parallel evaporations were performed using a GeneVac EZ-2 Plus evaporator. All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without additional purification. Flash column chromatography was performed on silica gel (30930M-25, Silica Gel 60A, 40-63 um) and thin layer chromatography was performed on silica gel 60F254 plates (EM-5717, Merck). Deuterated solvents were purchased from Cambridge Isotope laboratories. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 (unless otherwise mentioned) on a Bruker DRX-500 spectrometer operating at 500 MHz, and 125 MHz, respectively, and calibrated to the solvent peak. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was recorded on a LCT Premier Spectrometer (Micromass UK Limited) operating in the ESI mode (MeOH). Optical rotations at 589 nm, were measured using AUTOPOL IV Model automatic polarimeter. IR spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu FTIR-8400S instrument.

General procedure A: Scale-out synthesis of benzothiaoxazepine-1,1-dioxide derivatives 2 –13 utilizing MACOS flow-platform

A stock solution containing the sulfonamide (1.0 equiv.), epoxide (3 equiv.) and DBU (1.5 equiv.) in DMSO, (0.3-0.4 M) was prepared and loaded into a 10 mL Hamilton gastight syringe. The tubing was primed with DMSO and the syringe was connected to the reactor system with the aid of Microtight™ fittings. A sealed collection vial was connected to the system, where a pressurized airline (75 psi) was attached to create backpressure. A Harvard 22 syringe pump was set to deliver the reaction solution at a rate of 100-200 μ L/min (see Table 1 and 2 for specific conditions). The single mode microwave was programmed to heat constantly with the power level controlled manually so as to keep the temperature constant at the specified levels (see Scheme 1 and Table 2 for specific conditions). The effluent from the reactor was fed into a sealed vial and analyzed directly by 1H NMR spectroscopy immediately after the reaction. The crude reaction mixture was collected and the product was purified by neutral aluminum oxide column chromatography.

  • (viii).Batch scale-up (e.g., 1–2 g) was attempted previously, resulting in yields that were dramatically lower (20–60%, substrate specific), along with poorer percent conversion. In addition, the crude reaction mixtures in batch were far more complex, thus complicating purification. Preliminary investigation into this product loss in batch scale-up suggested a combination of decomposition and potential polymerization of reactive intermediate that did not occur on smaller scale.
